PyArray_ContiguousFromObject & PyDECREF
by Michiel Jan Laurens de Hoon 16 May '11

16 May '11

Dear pythoneers, In Chapter 12 ("Writing a C extension") in the Numerical Python manual, in the first example PyArray_ContiguousFromObject is used together with PyDECREF, while in the last example PyArray_ContiguousFromObject is used but the arrays are not PyDECREF'ed before the function returns. From Chapter 13 ("C API Reference") it seems that a PyDECREF is needed in both cases. Or am I missing something here? Is PyDECREF not needed for some reason in the last example? Thanks in advance, Michiel de Hoon U Tokyo First example: ============== static PyObject * trace(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { PyObject *input; PyArrayObject *array; double sum; int i, n; if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O", &input)) return NULL; array = (PyArrayObject *) PyArray_ContiguousFromObject(input, PyArray_DOUBLE, 2, 2); if (array == NULL) return NULL; n = array->dimensions[0]; if (n > array->dimensions[1]) n = array->dimensions[1]; sum = 0.; for (i = 0; i < n; i++) sum += *(double *)(array->data + i*array->strides[0] + i*array->strides[1]); Py_DECREF(array); return PyFloat_FromDouble(sum); } Last example: ============= static PyObject * matrix_vector(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { PyObject *input1, *input2; PyArrayObject *matrix, *vector, *result; int dimensions[1]; double factor[1]; double real_zero[1] = {0.}; long int_one[1] = {1}; long dim0[1], dim1[1]; extern dgemv_(char *trans, long *m, long *n, double *alpha, double *a, long *lda, double *x, long *incx, double *beta, double *Y, long *incy); if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "dOO", factor, &input1, &input2)) return NULL; matrix = (PyArrayObject *) PyArray_ContiguousFromObject(input1, PyArray_DOUBLE, 2, 2); if (matrix == NULL) return NULL; vector = (PyArrayObject *) PyArray_ContiguousFromObject(input2, PyArray_DOUBLE, 1, 1); if (vector == NULL) return NULL; if (matrix->dimensions[1] != vector->dimensions[0]) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ValueError, "array dimensions are not compatible"); return NULL; } dimensions[0] = matrix->dimensions[0]; result = (PyArrayObject *)PyArray_FromDims(1, dimensions, PyArray_DOUBLE); if (result == NULL) return NULL; dim0[0] = (long)matrix->dimensions[0]; dim1[0] = (long)matrix->dimensions[1]; dgemv_("T", dim1, dim0, factor, (double *)matrix->data, dim1, (double *)vector->data, int_one, real_zero, (double *)result->data, int_one); return PyArray_Return(result); } -- Michiel de Hoon, Assistant Professor University of Tokyo, Institute of Medical Science Human Genome Center 4-6-1 Shirokane-dai, Minato-ku Tokyo 108-8639 Japan http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon

UBTA- Brand new sto ck for your attention UBA TECHNOLOGY INC- Symbol: UBTA A company which provide high quality software solutions built with cutting-edge technology to the online betting exchange and online gaming industries. Current Price- 0.085 Will it Continue Higher? Review Exactly What this Company Does and Watch This One trade on Tuesday as We Know Many of You Like Momentum. Recent h0t news!! UBA Technology Inc. Announces Kiosk-Based P2P Betting Exchange Platform for Land-Based Casinos Friday December 9, 4:53 pm ET VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2005 --UBA Technology Inc. (Pink Sheets:UBTA - News) is targeting land-based casinos as a new market for its proprietary betting exchange software. UBA has commenced negotiations to install its betting exchange software, in stand-alone self operating kiosks, at traditional land-based casino locations. In November 2002, the Las Vegas Sun reported that gaming regulators in Nevada had approved a sports- and race-betting kiosk concept, which operates similarly to an automatic teller machine. The kiosk will provide larger casinos an opportunity to increase their sports-betting volume by strategically placing the kiosks in well-travelled casino areas. These betting systems have the potential to include wireless devices, allowing casino gamblers to place bets poolside, or from their hotel rooms. With high-speed broadband and wireless services now available on a global basis, UBA is well positioned to market its betting exchange platform to qualified online operators. This software would give online operators the ability to generate additional income streams from their current casino and poker clientele. Juniper Research estimates that mobile gambling will be a US$16.6 billion business by 2008. Geographical and cultural forces are also at work on these projections, particularly in the Asia-Pacific regions (driven largely by China). The popularity of gambling, coupled with the rapid growth in mobile phone penetration in the next five years, should assist UBA in its plans to leverage its internet-based betting exchange client base. The timing for UBA Technology's entry into the market place is excellent as the global gaming market continues to expand not only for online poker companies (Party Poker -- Party Gaming -- PRTY.L) and traditional bricks and mortar casinos (Wynn Resorts -- WYNN), but also for online gaming software providers (Cryptologic Inc. -- CRYP.Q).
